HomeUpcomming Phones Samsung galaxy m31s — Full Specification, Price, With Quad Rare Camera

The Samsung galaxy m31s comes with many firsts for the series and today

Samsung galaxy m31s Overview

The Samsung galaxy m31s comes with that rectangular quad-camera module to the back this back has a subtle gray gradient finish and Samsung is now using elastic on the m31s if that sounds familiar it’s because it’s the same durable glass and plastic composite that we’ve seen before on the s10 light and the note 10 light it’s still shiny and reflective here too and attracts fingerprints very easily but it should be more durable that’s the important part weighing in at just over 200 grams in hand the m31s has a heavy feel and that’s because of the 6000mah battery inside the fingerprint scanner is now integrated into the power button,

the positioning is just where the thumb naturally rests it is fast and accurate too so no complaints the volume keys they are placed slightly above a little harder to reach as for the rest of the placements we have a secondary noise-canceling mic to the top the triple card tray to the left and the bottom holds the speaker’s primary mic USB type c port and the headphone jack.

Samsung galaxy m31s Display

To the front we get one of the Samsung galaxy m31s biggest upgrades we’ve seen the phones with punch holes before and we’ve seen m series phones with AMOLED panels as well but the m31 has here sometimes combined both instead of the infinity u panel from the m31 we now have a larger 6.5-inch full HD plus panel it’s still AMOLED this is infinity oh it also happens to be protected by corning square the glass 3.

Samsung galaxy m31s Camera

The oh here or the punch hole it holds a 32-megapixel selfie camera this happens to be sony’s imx682 sensor it seems to shoot sharp-looking selfies and Samsung has even added in the ability to take slow fees and 4k video through the selfie shooter

coming back to the display this is one of the best AMOLED panels that we’ve seen on a mid-ranger it seems to be able to get quite bright the colors are nice and punchy and we have the really deep blacks that AMOLED typically brings to the table Samsung’s panels have always been top-notch and the m31s panel only helps reaffirm

Samsung galaxy m31s Processor

that belief taking a look at the internals now it’s got the same Exynos 9611 that we’ve seen Samsung use often on their a and m series phones, in fact, this is the same chip that’s been used on the m31 so expect performance to be more or less similar across the board as far as ram and storage go we have 6 and 8 GB of ram and 128 GB of onboard storage we also have an option for added expandability via MicroSD Card.

Samsung galaxy m31s Gaming

When it comes to gaming as we’ve seen before it’s the mali g72 mp3 and it can play most modern titles like pubg just fine that being said I still wish Samsung hadn’t gone with the same Exynos 9611 for this phone I’d have loved to see something more powerful.

Samsung galaxy m31s Battery

The battery capacity like I mentioned earlier it’s retained from the m31 6000mah and given our experience with that phone I’m expecting battery life to be nothing short of fantastic here now fitting in such a high capacity battery does come with a size penalty but honestly, Samsung has managed to keep the m31s at 9.3 millimeters ever so slightly thicker than the m31 but you gotta remember they’ve now fit in a larger screen and one more camera sensor and that has to take up space.

we’re talking about new things Samsung’s included the charger we finally got 25-watt fast charging uh on the m series the charger is included in the box and should help the m31s get from 0 to 100 in an hour 37. now that makes it quite a huge jump from the 15-watt fast charger on the last 10 m31 we even have wired reverse charging here through the type c port

Samsung galaxy m31s Software

as for the software experience, it’s the same one UI 2.1 built on top of Android 10. now the biggest positive for one UI right now is that it’s not Chinese and doesn’t have any pre-installed apps that have been banned by the Indian government for a lot of people that will make this a more secure option it’s also a well-optimized the feature-rich interface we’ve seen a lot of these features in the past now dark mode is something that really impressed me here on this AMOLED screen all the regular gestures they’re present in the content for this FM radio this face unlock which happens to work quite well too now

talking about face unlock let’s touch upon the cameras to the back the primary sensor on the galaxy m31s is a 64-megapixel snapper just like with the m31 it comes with an f 1.8 lens as expected it takes crisp looking photos with vivid colors and great dynamic range we even have the ai scene optimizer it is here to the bottom right of the screen and it tweaks the color profile depending on our shooting environment and subjects

Samsung has also thrown in a dedicated night mode and it comes in handy for those low light snaps software-wise we now have a single take as we had previously mentioned in a teaser video this is a feature that Samsung introduced earlier this year with their flagship s20 series and I’m happy to see it trickle down to the mid-range

the phone captures a mix of pictures and videos and even applies filters to some of those snaps and then gives us the choice of saving the ones we like the most all they’re saying you guessed it a single take and hence the name moving on to

the next sensor we have an upgraded 12-megapixel snapper paired with an ultra-wide lens one with 123-degree field of view this seems to be one of the better ultra-wide options in this price segment the remaining two cameras are both 5 megapixels one is the usual depth sensor that helps Samsung's live focus adjust bokeh while shooting or even in the post and then we have a macro camera which again seems to be quite good

Samsung galaxy m31s Pricing and Overall Impression

so from the display to the charging speeds and even optics Samsung's made quite a few upgrades to the m31s yes a faster soc inside would have been great but for what it is the m31s seems like a decent little performer especially for those looking to buy a non-Chinese phone in the under 20k bracket we can get the 6 +128 GB variant from Rs. 19,500 and the higher 8 + 128 GB it starts at Rs. 21,500 so 2k higher overall

The price has increased by 3000 from m31 to m31s Samsung tells us they’re gonna continue selling both variants simultaneously so do you feel the m31s is worth paying the extra 3000 for do let me know in the comments below
